Rear Shocks


Is it better to have "drag shocks" in the rear rather than "sport shocks"? Although I won't be draggin' or autoxin' often, I'd still like the best performance I can get when I do go.

Thx....P

get strange 10 way adjustable shock, you can stiffen them up when you go to the track or want to drive aggressively and soften them up when just putting around town.

I've always run a stock shock in the rear of my Mustangs except for the one car that I had coil overs on. My 87 LX runs deep in the 8s with Autozone rear shocks.

You can't go wrong with adjustable shocks though. They are much better than a stock shock but cost alot more too.
